Filled with dark humor and larger-than-life personalities By Bookreporter Jeff Lindsay gained fame due to the huge success of his Dexter series featuring blood pathologist/serial killer Dexter Morgan, which spawned multiple installments and a terrific TV series on Showtime. Most recently, the literary series came to an end with the ironic title DEXTER IS DEAD.For Lindsay, before there was ever a Dexter Morgan, there was Billy Knight. His first novel, TROPICAL DEPRESSION, was set in the Florida Keys and featured Knight, a burnt-out former cop. Lindsay now takes advantage of closing the door on one series by reopening the door on a new one.RED TIDE, like all of Lindsay's work, is set in his home state of Florida. In the Billy Knight novels, the home base is the distinctly original Key West area. Key West is such a wild place that it behaves almost like another character here. To quote from Billy: “There is nothing quite like being in love in Key West. Just walking down Duval Street can make you feel more alive than you have ever felt before, like God loves you more than other people and everything you do will always turn out right.”Unfortunately for Billy, this sentiment does not hold true. His relationship with his girlfriend, Nancy, is coming to an unsurprising end. Perhaps the fact that he is a shiftless sort who spends his days at a Key West dive bar while she pursues her nursing career provides evidence that this couple was not meant to be. Getting into a bar fight at said bar with Nancy present and ending up in jail probably marked their official end.While drowning his sorrows on a boat ride with his Australian drinking buddy, Nicky, they turn up something horrific. Parts of a floating dead body are found while they are taking target practice at objects in the water. Immediately, Billy's cop persona takes over and they call this gruesome find into the local authorities. Further investigation points to the fact that the body was of a refugee Haitian immigrant. The question remains what actually happened and if this was an innocent drowning or something far more sinister.Billy and Nicky, along with a handful of colorful people from both Key West and Miami, assist in a private investigation that points towards a nefarious individual with a deadly background in dark magic and voodoo. Billy and Nicky plan to infiltrate one of the black freighters allegedly filled with refugees. They are also motivated to find the young Russian woman named Anna, to whom Billy has taken quite a liking. She was kidnapped by this evil human trafficker, and they fear the worst for her survival.RED TIDE pulls no punches and readily goes to the dark side of eccentric Florida. It’s refreshing to see Lindsay return to a series and a character completely different from the Dexter books. The Billy Knight novels are filled with dark humor, larger-than-life personalities, and a nice mix of good, evil and those who exist somewhere in between.Reviewed by Ray Palen

Helping a friend move some sail boats, he’s dragged into a murder mystery. Nicky, along for the ride and some beers, is doing some practice shooting with his new gun. What he mistakes for a coconut floating in the distance turns out to be a dead Haitian man.When local police shrug it off as another drowned refugee, Nicky, like a dog with a bone, worries Billy into digging into the case. It’s more than a dead body. It’s mass murder, and Nicky puts his faith in Billy to dig out the truth, make the lazy officials get involved.What neither counted on was going up against a bocor, one who delves in dark voodoo magic and zombies.There’s a lot worse things than drowning on the high seas.It’s fun to be back with Billy and Nicky. Billy is a bit of an introvert, wanting to be left alone. Nicky, on the other hand, is the comic relief. He’s always operating his enthusiasm at one hundred percent.Billy is working through a break up with his girlfriend and exploring a new romance with a mysterious girl, Anna, who has her own demons to overcome.Nicky is his usual wacky self, until the discovery of the body. Now he’s full on rabid, worrying Billy until he agrees to look into the problem.It’s never a dull moment in Key West.I enjoy the setting for this series. Living on the Gulf Coast, it feels familiar. The humidity and sudden storms. The lackadaisical attitude and lifestyle of the tropics. And especially the dress code, shorts, t-shirts, and flip-flops. I always dread winter when I have to wear layers and put shoes and socks on.The plot is familiar too. Living so close to the area, the plight of the Haitian refugees is often aired on our local news. I have no doubt what happens in this book happens in real life. Just like the illegal border crossings from Mexico to the US, the coyotes do some similar atrocities.The fact this can and does happen in real life makes the connection to the story stronger, more engaging. It makes you think, feel the outrage, and empathize with the characters.This is another thrilling chapter in the series. One I recommend to all thriller fans.I received this book for my honest review.

Dark with Lots of Action By Maxine McLister Billy Knight, ex-LA cop and now charter boat operator, is trying to enjoy his retirement in Key West Florida despite a recent split from his long-time girlfriend. To try to break him out of his post-breakup funk, his Aussie friend, Nick, convinces him a fishing expedition is just the ticket. However, on the trip, they come across a body. When they contact the Coast Guard, they learn this is an all-too-common occurrence – someone is dumping Haitian refugees in the ocean by the hundreds but no one seems interested to do anything and that includes Billy. But Nicky is determined that someone must do something and that Billy should be that someone. He enlists Anna, a beautiful Russian immigrant who has survived horrors of her own, to persuade Billy and soon the trio are on the trail of a ship called the Black Freighter and its captain who is offering to bring refugees from Haiti to the US for a hefty price and is somehow compelling them to leap to their deaths miles from any shore.Red Tide is the second in the series by author Jeff Lindsay but the first I’ve read. It is told in the first person by Billy who, despite his best efforts, lives up to his surname – he is protective, romantic, chivalrous and kind to small animals and people but with a penchant for a good bar fight which is kind of the modern-day equivalent of jousting. He also has a great sense of self-deprecation and humour which helps to reduce the tension of some very dark scenes. The rest of the cast including Nick, Anna, and the mysterious Deacon are less well-defined but still likeable. This is a well-plotted novel with plenty of action and suspense and, if you’re a fan of Dexter or thrillers in general, this is definitely one for you.
